Real Madrid are planning for the future, and are eyeing a replacement for Ferland Mendy at left-back. Alphonso Davies of Bayern Munich is the player that they want to replace the Frenchman in a couple of years.
Right now, however, a deal for him will cost a lot of money and it will also be very difficult for them to convince Bayern Munich to sell him. But, his deal with the German giants runs out in 2025, and the operation that Madrid are planning is expected to start in the summer of 2024.
Alphonso Davies could be the next big signing for Real Madrid
No Canadian has ever played for the 14-time Champions League winners, and Alphonso Davies would be the first Canadian to do so if he arrives.
The plan for Los Blancos is to sign a young player to replace Mendy at left-back for not a lot of money. Should Davies not renew with Bayern any further, a good deal should be negotiable in the summer of 2024 when he will have only one year remaining on his deal. Moreover, he will only still be 23 in a year and a half.
As a result, he could continue playing for Real Madrid for a decade if he wishes, meaning he will be a long-term player. The likes of Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo, Endrick, Fede Valverde, Eduardo Camavinga and Aurelien Tchouameni are all expected to be a part of the next generation of Los Blancos. And if he is signed, Davies could be another world class player to be included in the same fearsome line-up.
